Abc Letter Music Notes For Irish Folk And Ballads, abc is a simple form of music
and is ideal for people who don't read sheet music. I have given the key for most. Where you see a letter in bold
print means it's a sharp note, where there are brackets means they are filler notes and are played to make the song
more intresting to play.

The key of D would have two sharps and the key of G has one. The key of C has no sharps of flats. These
notes are suitable for tin whistle banjo mandolin piano and other musical instruments where the lead notes are played. This
page will soon close with the notes going to the link below
